/ the Grand Duke of Mecklenberg- Strelitz.
This part was also well received by the peo-
pie. These two professions helped keep the
way to the abbey open and exercised the
pent up enthusiasm of the vast multitude
along the way awaiting impatiently to see and
cheer the Queen. Principally at Ills a. M
the Queen, in an open carriage, emerged from
the palace gates. At sight of her thousands
of voices were lifted up in cheers, her ap-
pearance being announced by the music of

the Queens coach as body guard. When |
the people at the palace gates had shouted |
themselves hoarse cheering for the Queen,
they continued to ely out long life to the /
Prince and Princess of Wales. The Queen |
as she left the palace seemed to be in excel |
lent spirits and she smiled and bowed to the |
people on every side. All along the route
the enthusiasm simply indescribable
